The huge truck will set up at the Gunnedah Showground on Tuesday, 22 and Wednesday, 23 June, and be open between 8am and 4pm for pensioners or those with concession cards.

Veterinary staff and volunteers will be on board to help care for beloved pets, with free microchipping and general check-ups being offered, while vaccinations come at a discounted rate of just $20.

The vehicle is more than 25 metres long and contains an isolation room, consult areas and 35 recovery cages.

In Gunnedah, services will be limited to dogs - which must be on a lead - and cats - which must be in a cage - with a maximum of three pets per household.

"The Animal Welfare League NSW veterinary team travels to destinations in collaboration with the Animal Welfare League NSW volunteer branches across the state to ensure we are helping those that need us most," they said.

"In addition, the Mobile Vet Truck is deployed to areas of crisis to assist with natural disasters and other emergencies."
